It's happening here in Florida as well. The good news about not masking up is this world is severely overpopulated already. You can do your part in helping that problem by not wearing your mask especially if you are a Republican. The world will thank you.

My latest on how Donald Trump is bringing the authoritarian playbook to America went out to Democracy Docket premium members. Help support DD's 20 person team and its pro-democracy mission by joining today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0 Here is an excerpt.
Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Agreed. There are so many great Democratic candidates that I prefer over Gavin but I have to give him props for rising to the occasion. The levity and mocking is very much needed in these fraughtful times
Newsom is a Pelosi corporate democrat
Zohran Mamdani's popularity should be proof positive, but corporate Democratic leadership continues their losing strategy of moving to the center. WTF up and see who the people can get excited about - AOC, Bernie, Zohran
This seems like a pretty clear abuse of power on Trump’s part—taking over a city’s police department, which then closes an investigation into one of your party members a year before midterm elections. It certainly aligns with the other instances of this administration’s rampant corruption & cronyism
Early on in trump 45, Eric complained that his dad sacrificed everything to be president. That was before they had their grifting down to a science that now makes them billions of $. Now that Eric has experienced this, he's considering a run for president to keep the grift going.
That’s the pattern: as soon as accountability gets close, the circus starts. Crime stunts. Military theater. Press conferences with no purpose but to dominate the news cycle. endlessurgency.com/p/the-toll-c...

THIS! Is the plain spoken truth telling I was posting about the other day here, the sort that everyone from White House press corps reporters to the person on the street needs to see, here and say. Quite an excellent op-ed. Coudn't have written it better myself! @velshimsnbc.bsky.social
Wow, this is how it's done
This is a message to Alito and Clarence to make sure he keeps his kingly power.

Hugely important. They are trying to provoke reactions that they can play endlessly on TV, to justify their overreach and give the SCOTUS cover to approve it all.
How much more evidence do we need to certify this guy is mentally incapable of doing his job! 🥴👇🏼

Go make the case to your own party if you feel so strongly about tariffs. He's an authoritarian and does want to ask for permission.

Bernie Sanders leaves Fox News host speechless.
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
This is so despicable. Do they do it to own the libs? Or is it to tell the cult that anything you do in defense of trump's agenda to overthrow the government, will be honored with pardons, military funerals, and $$. Let's honor the traitors and lock up political opponents. Tyranny much?
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
We really need to face that the ruling party is at peace with millions of us dying … COVID, guns, hunger, police violence, concentration camps, unsafe food, natural disasters. They are deeply committed to not preventing these deaths. #FireRFKJr
Silence is Complicity 💙💙👊🏻
Campaigning for president, Donald Trump assured workers he would fight for them, write Robert L. Borosage and Sara Steffens. But ahead of Labor Day weekend, it is worth summarizing how extensive his assault on labor has been in his first months in office.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
The trump regime is now on the same level as Putin's.
It's so rich having the biggest con man who lied on every mortgage application going after his political enemies for doing what he has been doing his whole life. Irony is dead
This❗
Democratic norms are being bulldozed in broad daylight by an autocratic movement hiding behind a red, white, & blue facade.The GOP is a cult, loyal not to the Constitution, nor the rule of law, but to DJT, a man whose every move is designed to consolidate personal power at the expense of democracy
I don’t write to soothe. I write to force a choice. To push people to stay and fight...or run away. To spark anger...courage...and conviction. Neutrality is surrender...and in this fight...you either stand up for democracy or you enable its destruction. There. Is. No. Middle. Ground.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
America is under siege. From El Paso to DC, state violence stalks our streets. But we refuse to bow. We fight with cameras, with community, with fire. Democracy survives only if we resist. Join the rebellion. social.demcast.com/s/KZHj2vTq
💯% and more! Miller & Chueng they are destroying the nation, as well as Theil, shadow voices in the ears of the president. (who does not have a coherent thot in his pea brain). It's why he's briefed with video. Cab briefs are suck up fests, greasing the wheels of propaganda. He'll believe anything.
Worth a listen
I've been in the same mindset. Every time I hear the "next" thing in the news I tell my dog, "well son, we'll soon be dead, he's gonna kill is all. Give me strength fight." I'm 67 and disabled. But I'll fight.

“My friend got hit in the back… my friend Victor saved me, he laid on top of me…” We are failing them.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity. There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar. Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.
Landlords say they can’t afford a rent freeze, but have $2.5M to give to Cuomo. Reminds me of corporations that spend millions to bust unions instead of just raising wages and offering benefits. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.
HERE, laugh a little (24)!

I've never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people.

Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Since everyone's talking about the latest mass shooting manifesto, here's something I wrote for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social earlier this year about how mass shooters are networking and encouraging one another in online spaces. progressive.org/magazine/no-...
This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.
“We have in power now a president and a sidekick, and I don’t quite know what to call him, who are deliberately destroying the independence of the three branches of government. This is not some historian speculating—they literally say, ‘This is what we are doing.’” — Heather Cox Richardson
If you’re stuck in wait-and-see mode, you’re suffering from a lack of urgency that’s fatal to democracy and the project of ending the Trumpian nightmare.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Anthropic says a hacker used its Claude chatbot "to an unprecedented degree": Claude identified vulnerable companies, wrote infostealer malware, analyzed stolen files for extortion purposes, calculated extortion amounts, and wrote extortion messages. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...
This was a great if very chilling conversation, and specifically for this lens on the Trump admin (I think you also see this in Israel's legalese/strategic claims about Gaza in US media vs. the openly genocidal rhetoric and intent from their leadership)
🤮🤮UFB are we in North Korea?
The deployment of out-of-state troops to occupy cities is a brutal power grab. It runs afoul of the Constitution and the proper role for states. bit.ly/4m6TG77
This week: The President said “a lot of people want a dictator.” His chief advisor called the Democratic Party “terrorists.” They sent military to occupy our cities under phony pretexts. Nobody declares “now it’s Fascism.” It’s here. In the White House & on the streets.

Exactly
How many MSM outlets would print that headline today? This man has lost what little he had left of his brain and they just act like this is all normal.
When trump first got elected, I challenged people and myself to talk like trump for a day and I gotta tell you... it's kind of a trip just spewing any old bs that crosses your mind. I challenge you... talk like trump Newsome style or tryout for the liar's Olympics

Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of good people.

Curtis Yarvin wants to scrap democracy and crown a CEO as king. He calls it “efficient.” I call it fascist techno feudalism. This isn’t harmless blogging. It’s an attack on the idea that people should govern themselves. And it’s sliding into the mainstream. 🧵1/9

Well, this has certainly escalated quickly. National Guard units patrolling the nation’s capital under Trump’s orders are now carrying firearms. The moment our military turns its weapons on American citizens will mark a point of no return.
I have insurance through the ACA (Obamacare). I can barely afford my premium as it is. Once this kicks in I'll be back to being one of the MILLIONS of self-employed contractors with zero health insurance. So...thanks for that.👍 www.editorialboard.com/if-youre-on-...
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
OMG 🚨☢️📢‼️ Wake up America ‼️
Accurate. STOP THIS MADNESS.
